Through the other weeklies The Goderich Signal Star reported that plans are un- derway by the town council to call tenders for the work proposed by the Business Improvement Area (BIA) to beautify the downtown core area. Tenders will be called to begin the first stages of work on The Square which include the streets radiating from the core. The move was made under somewhat strained conditions since some councillors Odisagreed with the development. The debate resulted in a split decision vote. Mayor Deb Shewfelt finally broke the tie and approval was granted. As well, strong opposition was given to council from the Goderich Ratepayers' Association who felt that the replacement of the present lighting system on The Square was a needless, extra cost. The new decorative lighting was considered as wasteful by the group when efficient, modern lighting already existed. The Blyth Standard �eported to its readers an unfortunate incident of vandalism at the St. Michael's Catholic Church in Blyth. The Standard said that one recent morning the caretaker found rolls of toilet paper strewn about the inside of the church along with books and papers scattered all over the place. The Wingham OPP are in- vestigating the incident.

The northbound bus received damages to its front end while the westbound bus, carrying the elementary children, was damaged beyond repair, after it en- tered a ditch, snapped a hydro pole and rolled over. According to Police Chief John Cairns of Seaforth the new police communications system to 6e based in Goderich will mean more protection and a safer Seafnrth The Huron Expositior reported that Chief Cairns said that presently, if the Seaforth police spot a suspicious looking vehicle, or person they have to go back to their office, phone the Goderich OPP and wait for the information they require.

After two weeks of quiet, about 70 female workers walked the picket line at the striking Fleck Manufacturing Plant in Huron Park.

The Zurich Citizens -News reported that the bean festival committee ,was relieved to learn that the village council plans to make an adjustment on the sewer and water rates for the festival building. The committee had earlier inquired about the possibility of an adjustment in cost of sewer charges and sewer hook-up fee. It was noted that since the bean festival was donating most of the money back to the town, the com- mittee wanted a break on the water and sewer charges. Lucknow is making early plans. With the summer season just underway. Lucknow will be purchasing Christmas lights for the main street of the village.

The Wingham Advance - Times warned iIs readers this week that a bylaw may be passed by council that would allow the police force to issue fines to homeowners who refuse to collect their rub- bish. The town is presently requesting that homeowners in Wingham collect their leaves and garden refuse. This type of material is normally picked up by the town works crews on the first and third Thursdays of each month and the town has requested it not be put out at the curb more than a day or two prior to collection. However, some homeowners have been putting out their rubbish days for weeks in advance and as a result' the streets become cluttered and the garbage is tossed around Brussels, along with Morris and Grey Township councils, have agreed to reject Huron's proposal for a countywide residency system for 'senior citizen's housing, the Brussels Post reported.
